integral from 1 to 2 of (x-2)/x

\int_{1}^{2} \frac{x - 2}{x} d x

1 - 2 ln (2)

Decimal

- 0.38629 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{1}^{2} \frac{x - 2}{x} d x

Expand

\frac{x - 2}{x} : 1 - \frac{2}{x}

= \int_{1}^{2} 1 - \frac{2}{x} d x

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= \int_{1}^{2} 1 d x - \int_{1}^{2} \frac{2}{x} d x

\int_{1}^{2} 1 d x = 1

\int_{1}^{2} \frac{2}{x} d x = 2 ln (2)

= 1 - 2 ln (2)

\int_{0}^{1} 3 x^{2} cos (x^{3}) d x

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} 4 x sin (2 x) d x

\int_{- 2}^{3} [(x + 4) - (x^{2} - 2)] d x

\int_{0}^{π} cos (x) + sin (x) d x

\int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{ln ( x )} d x
